DeweyGill SUBS ● 7th Oct 2024		78 RPM Blue Steele - You're So Different / Coronado (Brings Memories Of Yo)	Supposedly the V-40000 series was designated for country recordings, but somehow a handful of dance bands found some of their releases on this series, especially at the beginning. I always wondered why.
DeweyGill SUBS ● 6th Oct 2024		78 RPM Teddy Powell - Talking To The Wind / Straight Eight Boogie	Tony Aless-piano “Straight Eight Boogie” references both musically eight to the bar, and the engine option available in many US cars at that time. (not Ford though, they had their flathead V-8) There may be another coy reference there as well.
DeweyGill SUBS ● 6th Oct 2024		78 RPM Harry James - When We're Alone (Penthouse Serenade) / Life Goes To A Party	Side project recorded while Harry was first trumpet with Benny Goodman. He brought along Jess Stacy on piano, but otherwise these are all Basie sidemen
DeweyGill SUBS ● 6th Oct 2024		78 RPM The Jungle Band - Paducah / Harlem Flat Blues	Added missing image
DeweyGill SUBS ● 5th Oct 2024		78 RPM The Ten Seers - I Told Them All About You / I Dream About You	Out of my undetermined file. *Rust lists this title under Carl Fenton with a Gennett matrix of GEX-1053. This # is not present anywhere on the record or trail off. The B side could be The Southern Serenaders, usually a Sam Lanin outfit. If so, it was a Pathe’ /Perfect master. The matrix #’s are not known for those issues. These would be Pathe’ 36753 and Perfect 14934. I own neither, so I can’t compare recordings. No other marking or numbers on either side other than the matrix’s I listed in notes.
DeweyGill SUBS ● 5th Oct 2024		78 RPM Norm Hoagy - Paper To Burn / Stars Fell On Alabama	“Stars Fell On Alabama” is a rather nice version leaning toward jazz with some attractive sax work,
DeweyGill SUBS ● 4th Oct 2024		78 RPM University Of Notre Dame Orchestra - Victory March / Down The Line March	A side more of a dance orchestra than brass and military. Side B has a bit of military march step feel, but little brass
DeweyGill SUBS ● 3rd Oct 2024		78 RPM Al Lynch - I Sill Love You / Goodbye Broadway, Hello Montreal	Other A side issues as Hollywood Dance Orchestra on Banner, Jewel Dance Orchestra on Jewel, all other issues as Herbert Spencer’s Dance Orchestra. Spencer was a sax player.
DeweyGill SUBS ● 2nd Oct 2024		78 RPM Joe Haymes - The Moon Is Grinning At Me / You're Too Sure Of Me	Added early juke box title strip
DeweyGill SUBS ● 2nd Oct 2024		78 RPM Midnight Ramblers - Little White Lies / What's The Use	At one point, both the Eskimos and The Clevelanders were Harry Reser units. It is thought by 1929 that Adrian Schubert was directing The Clevelanders
DeweyGill SUBS ● 1st Oct 2024		78 RPM Gloria Geer - When My Sugar Walks Down The Street / Who Takes Care Of The Caretaker's Daughter	“Gloria Geer” is a pseudonym for Vaughn DeLeath. “The original radio crooner” There was an old story in collecting lore that when Lee DeForest brought her into his NYC pioneering radio station 2XG in 1920, it was feared her soprano high pitch would damage the vacuum tubes, so she was talked into singing in a lower voice. This apparently fashioned the crooner style, which influenced singers for decades.
DeweyGill SUBS ● 1st Oct 2024		78 RPM The Yacht Club Boys - The Monte Carlo Song / I'm Wild About Horns On Automobiles That Go ‘Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta'	I realized that. It certainly was the intention of the label, but the public thought otherwise.
DeweyGill SUBS ● 1st Oct 2024		78 RPM Enric Madriguera - Orchids In The Moonlight / Carioca	Royal Blue wax
DeweyGill SUBS ● 1st Oct 2024		78 RPM The Yacht Club Boys - The Monte Carlo Song / I'm Wild About Horns On Automobiles That Go ‘Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta'	I entered I’m Wild About Horns Side” as the top side, as it was such a big hit for this quartet
DeweyGill SUBS ● 1st Oct 2024		78 RPM Chet Roble - Barefoot Boy / The Ace In The Hole	Roble was an actor, and at the time a star on “Studs’ Place” (Studs Terkel) 1951-52. The TV show actually debuted in 1949 and starred Studs as the proprietor of a Chicago Diner. Roble was one of the regulars at the eatery. Think “Cheers”
DeweyGill SUBS ● 1st Oct 2024		78 RPM Rudy Marlow - The Woman In The Shoe / Turn On The Heat	Oh great, thanks Mike. Even my comments are kicking back. Bad internet connection right now
DeweyGill SUBS ● 1st Oct 2024		78 RPM Rudy Marlow - The Woman In The Shoe / Turn On The Heat	Some of the info disappeared or flipped on the upload. I can’t change it or add on this end. This has happened before a couple of times. I had entered Marlow as the A side. Should I just resubmit the whole page and have this one deleted?
DeweyGill SUBS ● 1st Oct 2024		78 RPM Rudy Marlow - The Woman In The Shoe / Turn On The Heat	This Lloyd Keating side was in my “not traceable” file forever, but this appears to be from a session led by Phil Spitalny. It seems “The Paramounteers” name was also added to the session. This pairing also on Columbia 1068-P, Diva 3053-G, Harmony 1053-H
DeweyGill SUBS ● 30th Sep 2024		78 RPM Mike Doty - Puddin' Head Jones / Annie Doesn't Live Here Any More	Images added. Recorded November 9, 1933 This is the regular Joe Haymes Orchestra using Mike Doty’s name for a session. Joe Haymes, director. Ward Silloway misspelled on the label.
DeweyGill SUBS ● 30th Sep 2024		78 RPM Ray McKinley - I'll Keep The Lovelight Burning / Who Wouldn't Love You	While this session would have qualified, Rust did not include some of the upstart label contributions in the pre-ban months prior to July 31, 1942.
DeweyGill SUBS ● 30th Sep 2024		78 RPM Jay McShann - Swingmatism / Vine Street Boogie	Looks like image 2176292 is no different than the current lead image (2165551)
DeweyGill SUBS ● 30th Sep 2024		78 RPM Jay McShann - Swingmatism / Vine Street Boogie	Added cropped “sepia” B side and larger A side image
DeweyGill SUBS ● 30th Sep 2024		78 RPM Jay McShann - Swingmatism / Vine Street Boogie	Charlie Parker is featured on “Swingmatism”
DeweyGill SUBS ● 30th Sep 2024		78 RPM Ben Pollack - Thru The Courtesy Of Love / Now Or Never	Band includes Harry James, Charlie Spivak, Glenn Miller, Irving Fazola, Freddy Slack
DeweyGill SUBS ● 30th Sep 2024		78 RPM George Olsen - Somewhere In The Night / Which Way Did They Go? (They Went That-a-way)	Side A is a somewhat tepid post war vocal, but the flip jumps back to the style of novelty sides Olsen did in the late ‘20’s. This one deals with the then immense popularity of matinee Westerns at the theaters in the late 1940’s. Posse: “Which way did they go?” Girl: They went that-a-way- and they was desperate! They almost took me with them!” Posse: “ No one’s THAT desperate!”
DeweyGill SUBS ● 30th Sep 2024		78 RPM Hollywood Dance Orchestra - I'm Following You / Would You Be Blue?	Thanks, Mike
DeweyGill SUBS ● 30th Sep 2024		78 RPM Hollywood Dance Orchestra - I'm Following You / Would You Be Blue?	Jewel 5792 should have also been listed with the other “I’m Following You” companion issues
DeweyGill SUBS ● 30th Sep 2024		78 RPM Ozzie Nelson - Central Avenue Shuffle / Sir Walter's Serenade	This session was pretty much the end of Ozzie’s big band recording career. I believe he still appeared at live engagements and did some film work with his orchestra through part of the war years.
DeweyGill SUBS ● 29th Sep 2024		78 RPM Hollywood Dance Orchestra - I'm Following You / Would You Be Blue?	Many of the above issues listed in “Notes” are from my notes, and not listed in Rust’s discography of American Dance Bands. I didn’t have the Creager Cameo 0139 accessible to double check, but I think I deciphered my scribbling correctly. “I’m Following You” must have been a popular item to appear on nearly every dime store label that used the Plaza recordings. It is indeed a fine version.
DeweyGill SUBS ● 29th Sep 2024		78 RPM Clara Smith And Her Jazz Band - When My Sugar Walks Down The Street / Alley Rat Blues	Variant added
